The so-called arrowhead nose is usually an arrowhead nose formed by excessive drooping of the tip of the nose, which is formed by excessive development of cartilage in the nasal septum or cartilage in the lower part of the nose. It is characterized by excessive drooping of the tip of the nose, and the tip of the nose can almost be attached to the upper lip, especially when laughing.
The normal angle between the mouth and lips of the nose column is (female 100- 1 10 degrees, male is about 90 degrees), while the beauty seeker of the arrow nose presents an angle less than 90 degrees. This has led to the fact that from the side, the nose seems to be "squatting" on the face, and there is generally no three-dimensional sense.
This shape of nose is usually out of proportion to the face. Moreover, the long, pointed and drooping nose is also easy to leave a fierce impression on people, making the beauty seeker look older than his actual age.
Arrow nose is often confused with aquiline nose, because it also has the characteristics of drooping nose tip. Most aquiline noses are born, but a few are diseases caused by nasal bone dislocation. The back of the aquiline nose is long, the upper part of the back is narrow and convex, the root of the nose is inclined downward, and the tip of the nose is small and curved forward and downward, more like the mouth of an eagle.
Although the aquiline nose is a kind of external nose deformity, it will not affect the normal function of the nose, but only affect the beauty of the nose. The difference between these two nose types is quite big. In contrast, the arrowhead nose is more common and the aquiline nose is less common.
The arrow nose is mainly a long nose, and the tip of the nose is still drooping, which looks like a long nose, while the aquiline nose has a bulge at the upper end of the bridge of the nose, which looks like a hump or nodule, and the tip of the nose is a little hooked, which looks like a tough nose line.
Both arrowhead nose and aquiline nose must be improved by nose synthesis, and simple rhinoplasty can not achieve satisfactory results. But the specific ways to improve are different.
The main purpose of improving arrowhead nose is to reset the position of alar cartilage, shorten the length of nasal septum and raise the drooping nose tip, so as to increase the angle between the nose tip and mouth. Severe arrow nose may require open rhinoplasty.
When the tip of nasal septum cartilage is downward and long, a non-open incision is used to remove the longer part of the lower end of nasal septum cartilage. In the case of drooping cartilage at the tip of the nose, auricular cartilage, nasal septum cartilage or autogenous costal cartilage can be selected as needed to prolong the nasal columella, rebuild the tip of the nose and make the tip of the nose upright. In this way, the tip of the nose will no longer droop, the nose will be shortened, and the ratio of nose to face will become natural.
Regarding the improvement of the aquiline nose, because the aquiline nose has different severity, a plan is made according to the severity of the aquiline nose, and then surgical correction is carried out.
When correcting the aquiline nose, if it is accompanied by hunchback, it is necessary to remove a proper amount of raised nasal bones as appropriate. If the middle of the nose is not high, but the tip of the nose and the bottom of the nose are low and the bridge of the nose is prominent, then not only the prominent part should be cut off, but also the tip of the nose should be padded to raise the bridge of the nose.
If the nose foundation of the beauty seeker is poor and the corrected nose shape is not ideal, a comprehensive rhinoplasty can be carried out at the same time, and the tip of the nose can be raised with autologous cartilage, so that the tip of the nose can be reset and the nose can be more in line with aesthetic proportions.
The improvement of this nose shape is naturally more difficult than simple rhinoplasty, so the technical requirements for hospitals and doctors are also higher. It is suggested that beauty seekers go to a regular hospital for face-to-face examination and choose the appropriate improvement plan according to their nose conditions.
